AQMesh Small Sensor Air Quality Monitoring

AQMesh pods are a compact, cost-effective solution for localized air quality monitoring — measuring up to 8 gases, particulate matter, and meteorological conditions with cloud-based data management and secure online access.

How AQMesh Works

Each pod adds a flexible measurement point around communities, roadways, industrial sites, campuses, and existing air monitoring networks, giving teams localized, near real-time data wherever it’s needed.

System Type Small sensor air quality monitoring pod
Best Use Hyperlocal monitoring and trend analysis
Deployment Wall, post, field, and network installations

Note: AQMesh is best used as a complementary source of information. For mandatory or regulatory monitoring, reference-quality instruments may still be required.

Configurable air quality data in one compact pod

AQMesh pods can be configured around the needs of each project, including gas pollutants, particulate matter, and supporting environmental conditions.

Gases

Gas Pollutants

Measure gases such as NO, NO2, NOx, O3, CO, SO2, CO2, and H2S depending on configuration.

Particles

Particulate Matter

Support for PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and particle count using optical particle counter technology.

Conditions

Environmental Data

Measure supporting conditions such as pod temperature, humidity, pressure, and optional noise monitoring.

Access

Online Data Tools

View tables, graphs, downloads, multi-user access, password control, and optional API data access.

Scalable Monitoring

Increase monitoring coverage with flexible sensor networks

Multiple AQMesh pods can be deployed together to help identify neighborhood-level trends, localized changes, and potential pollution hot spots.

This flexibility lets teams phase deployments across budget cycles and scale coverage up or down without committing to permanent infrastructure at every site.

Network Benefits

  • Expand spatial resolution between reference stations
  • Support hyperlocal air quality studies
  • Deploy across a wide range of site types and monitoring contexts
  • Relocate pods as monitoring priorities change

Where AQMesh fits best

AQMesh is suited for projects that need localized information, trend visibility, and flexible monitoring locations without placing a full reference station at every point.

Community Monitoring

Track air quality trends across neighborhoods, municipalities, campuses, and sensitive community areas.

Roadside & Urban Studies

Support smart city, traffic, and exposure studies with localized data from multiple monitoring points.

Industrial & Fence Line Monitoring

Place pods around facilities, boundaries, or project sites to better understand changes in nearby air quality.
